Diet /  Joshua Alan Sturgill     

A diet for a healthy heart
A diet for glowing skin
A diet for higher sex-appeal
A diet for getting slim

A scheme for living filthy rich
A scheme for gaining fame
A scheme for wider influence
A scheme for winning games

Therapy for future fears
Therapy for past abuse
Therapy for underaction
Therapy for overuse

A million different programs
for a thousand different ills
Some take a subscription
Some take lots of pills

But the therapy I long for
a scheme I need but never find
is healing from disharmony
and a diet to quiet my mind
